Glimpse Of Us Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She’d take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She’d turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she’s so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don’t mean that it’s workin’
So what can I do? (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
When you’re out of sight
In my mind
[Chorus]
‘Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that’s where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I’m thinkin’ of the way it was
Said I’m fine and said I moved on
I’m only here passing time in her arms
Hopin’ I’ll find a glimpse of us
[Verse 2]
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day, you’ll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you’ll get a glimpse
Maybe you’ll start slippin’ slowly and find me again
[Pre-Chorus]
When you’re out of sight
In my mind
[Chorus]
‘Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that’s where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I’m thinkin’ of the way it was
Said I’m fine and said I moved on
I’m only here passing time in her arms
Hopin’ I’ll find a glimpse of us
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
‘Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that’s where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I’m thinkin’ of the way it was
Said I’m fine and said I moved on
I’m only here passing time in her arms
Hopin’ I’ll find a glimpse of us
Glimpse Of Us Lyrics Meaning
The meaning of the lyrics for ‘Glimpse of Us’ by Joji is the singer is faking that he has moved on from his previous lover. When people break apart from a relationship, they will have to find a way to move on. While some people do it by indulging themselves in different activities, some people sit idle and dwell on it. The latter is Joji’s personality. He longs for something he has lost a long time ago so that he can feel something.
The lyrics of ‘Glimpse of Us’ by Joji talk about Joji trying to relive his previous relationship with new different people. This is unfair to his new partners. However, it also highlights the fact that he has not been able to move on from his past lover. People do things that remind them of their previous partners knowingly or unknowingly. For eg., if someone’s ex was abusive, they won’t feel like they are in love with you unless you repeat the same behaviors exhibited by their exes.
The second verse meanwhile has the vocalist pondering, or more accurately we can say hoping, that his ex, who herself has also moved on to another partner, is thinking about Joji just as he is still stuck on her. So it is obvious that besides just generally missing the addressee, the vocalist also wants her likewise want him back.
